Retroloader is a simple single-EXE game loader for Retroarch on Windows. It can be set as the default program for file extensions such as .sfc, .gba, and .iso. When a such a file is launched with Retroloader, it will determine whether any installed Retroarch cores support the file and prompt the user to choose which should be loaded. (If only one core supports files with that extension, it will be loaded without prompting.)
Retroloader only supports extensions included in the core info files included with Retroarch, located in the Retroarch\info folder. You may need to download these files from the Retroarch auto-updater.
- Follow regular Visual Studio build procedures for a simple Windows Forms C# application.
